From artificial intelligence and robotics to cybersecurity, quantum computing and deep tech, the technology landscape across Germany, Austria and Switzerland is evolving at an incredible pace. Every day, new ideas emerge, communities grow, and opportunities arise. But finding the right events, people and connections across this dynamic ecosystem isn't always easy.
hackevents is changing that.
In just 4 months, hackevents has attracted 100,000 visitors to its platform – a strong indication of the demand for a central place to discover what's happening across the DACH technology ecosystem.
Bringing together technology conferences, meetups, hackathons, workshops and networking opportunities, hackevents makes it easier for professionals to explore the events that matter to them. Whether you're a developer looking for your next technical deep dive, a founder seeking connections, or an engineering leader keeping up with emerging technologies, hackevents helps you find your place in the community.
One platform. Three countries. Countless opportunities to connect.
1. One Platform Connecting the DACH Tech Community
Finding relevant technology events can be surprisingly time-consuming. Information is scattered across individual websites, social media channels, event platforms and community calendars. Discovering what's happening in another city or country can be even more challenging.
hackevents brings these opportunities together in one searchable platform, covering Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With hundreds of technology events and a growing audience, it provides a central overview of the people, communities and activities shaping the region's technology landscape.
From upcoming events and expected attendees to geographical coverage and different technology specialisations, hackevents gives users a comprehensive overview of what's happening across the region.

6. Why Tech Events Matter for Talent and Innovation
Technology events offer much more than technical insights. They create opportunities for professionals to exchange knowledge, develop new skills, explore emerging technologies and build relationships with others in their field.
For founders, they can open doors to potential partners, investors and collaborators. For developers and engineers, they provide opportunities to learn, share expertise and discover new career possibilities. For technology leaders and employers, they offer valuable insights into emerging trends, evolving skill requirements and the people driving innovation.
These communities are also important for the wider talent ecosystem. Meaningful professional connections often begin through shared interests and technical discussions, long before a formal recruitment process starts.
At Rockstar Recruiting, we understand that successful recruitment goes beyond matching a CV to a job description. It requires an understanding of the technology landscape, the people driving innovation and the communities where expertise develops.
That's why hackevents is such a valuable part of the ecosystem. By making technology events easier to discover, it helps professionals stay connected to their industries and creates more opportunities for meaningful connections between people and organisations.
